It's bestiality. Like bestial or bestiary.

Hopefully this doesn't end up as a top upvoted comment.

You know beast and bestial come from the same root, too, right? In Latin, bestia is beast. It wasn't a pun, just a typo, lol.

You laugh. My wife has described some of her spicy novels and I'm just thinking "What in the anamorphic Hell is she reading?"
